Topic: Finding the Right Care for Your IBD Journey
Managing Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis can feel overwhelming, especially when symptoms flare or help seems hard to find. You don’t have to face these moments alone.
Join us for a practical session on navigating the healthcare system and accessing the right support throughout your inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) journey.
Hear from Dr. Parul Tandon as he highlights the benefits of multidisciplinary care, including working with gastroenterologists, primary care providers, dietitians, mental health professionals, nurse practitioners, naturopaths, and specialized IBD clinics.
He’ll also explore the unique barriers faced by those from racial and ethnic minority communities and share strategies to help you advocate for fair, high-quality IBD care.
